Barry - does the mobile need to be part of the set-up? Could you not just use a soft phone or even skype or similar, along with a 3g connection if used away from home.

Hmmm, "soft phone" simply means a software phone. However there there are 2 components to any such service, the telephone be it hard or soft, and the connection from your local network/PC, to the telephone network.
Taking them in reverse order, Vonage looks to be a domestic service provider which bundles call costs from about £5.99 on top of line rental and broadband connection. http://www.vonage.co.uk/index.php which does specifically say you can make calls using a traditional phone, or on the PC. If the vonage interface doesn't do it for you then you'll need a dediate softphone package, many of these are designed for corporate so need to sit on a server or if they're domestic then tend to be ful of instant messaging and other more social features and concentrate less on the actual phone call quality - one that looks a potential candidate and does say that it will work over wifi or 3g is: http://www.nch.com.au/talk/ the other option of course if you want to keep it simple and use a mbile and use the PC to dial, manage contactsw etc is to use a nokia phone and the nokia pc suite software. Not show however if you can answer incoming calls in it, and you can send but can't read incoming sms messages. many packages are either corporate systems designed to sit of servers and feature rich, or social media type application which offer lots of instant messaging and related facilities but not clear on how good they are at actually decent quality voice calls.

** Commercial interest **
The Grid 2 has a number of solutions that might help you. Hands up those who guessed that I might suggest that! Option 1: The Grid 2 can be connected to a mobile phone over Bluetooth, initiate a call (you can enter the number), answer a call and hang up. You can also send/receive sms (text messages). Note: the number of mobile phones supported is limited (many new phones don't support the older interface that we use) so please check before buying a phone for this purpose. Option 2 is to take a remote controlled phone (such as the Sero) and control it with an environment controller (such as the Tira or UUIRT). This has the advantage that it uses the land line (which may be cheaper). Option 3 is Skype, which can be used to call out to a phone number (via SkypeOut) and provide a phone number to receive calls (via SkypeIn), all at competitive prices. You may not need The Grid 2 to do this, but if you need the access features then it could help. Note that you cannot enter a new number in TG2 to make a SkypeOut call (existing contacts only, I'm afraid), but you can do Skype chats to other PC users. In all cases, you could make a really straightforward grid with just the phone controls on it.

Read&WriteGold - 'Scan to Word' produces empty page

Does anyone know what I am doing wrong here?
I'm using R&W Gold version 9 to scan a jpg file which has an image of text on it, and asking it to output it into a Word (2007) document. It appears to be working, and it duly launches Word to show you the results, but the page is blank. So I tried it again, this time with a PDF file. Again, the resulting Word 2007 was blank. (I had a look in 'Scanning Options' and apart from the 'multipage settings' in the right-hand panel, everything else was greyed out.

Yep, should be getting something - even if garbage, and the PDF is
disturbing too (i presume the pdf contained text!) Try Scanning Options> Output tab and have a tinker. Retain full formatting... should be checked for Word, PDF should be fully formattted etc. Hmmm, when it goes through the scan pass process, does it happen instantaneously? If so sounds like RWG's scanning engine is up the spout, as it should take some time to pass over doc/pdf/jpg so that it SEES it properly. Restart Machine, Restart RWG, try again. No joy? Remove fully, then reinstall. Sorry couldn't be more help.

Subject: Re: Read&WriteGold - 'Scan to Word' produces empty page It's this: http://www.ehow.com/how_4436008_speech-ms-office-using-macros.html It is a little small and faint and it's not exactly english - it's VBA code. But I'm sure I should be getting *something* after OCR - ing it. But as I mentioned earlier, I did the same operation - 'scan from file' - with a pdf, and got another blank page.

"Retain full formatting... should be checked for Word, PDF should be fully formattted etc."
Did that "when it goes through the scan pass process, does it happen instantaneously?" No, it throws up a dialogue box telling me it is OCR-ing, which takes a few seconds to complete. "Restart Machine, Restart RWG, try again. No joy? Remove fully, then reinstall." Was just about to, then I tried same operation on a different computer - this time using R&W Gold version 8 - once with the same jpg, and once with a different PDF. Blank page both times. So, by logical deduction - as I am the only common factor here, the problem must be something to do with me... I think I'm going to come back to this problem later - I'm fed up with it now!
